Any dog showing aggression, for any reason, should not be at a dog park, and their owner should get that. It's not usually the dog's fault, either, that it's aggressive. The owner hasn't properly socialized the dog, and the public certainly should not pay for their ignorance.

I was curious about the dog park so I googled it and found these reviews..... seems the place is very unfriendly to newbies..... and according to the bottom review the owners do nothing about aggressive dogs.... Doggie Doo Run Run

There are a lot of very long term customers at Doggie Doo Run Run. They also socialize with one another but will warm up to people if you make an effort. There are different groups that tend to come about the same time and chat often under the various tents. Then there are people who just walk around the park for exercise for the most part. I have done both in the nine years I have been going to Doggie Doo Run Run.

As to aggressive dogs it really varies as to what they allow. It seems to depend somewhat on what complaints have been made against certain dogs and by whom. I do find Laura and Scott though, for the most part, fair. There are some aggressive dogs who have been limited to only coming to the agility area. They do have signs up in various places around the agility area that if that area is in use you should not enter.

We've never experienced any unfriendliness in the nine years we've been taking our dogs to DDRR.
On the contrary, we've met lots of wonderful people who have become friends and golf buddies.
I've been told by people who have voiced concerns to Laura and Scott, the owners, that they are very responsive and investigate all complaints.

You do know the inherent nature of googled reviews of anything I hope.

This is my first complaint made about any dog at Doggie Doo Run Run. There are some dogs that play a little rough but usually the dogs and the owners work it out without going to the owners Scott and Laura or to their various employees. Their employees keep a close watch on things though.

You should give DDRR a try as Barefoot wrote is a a wonderful place to take your dog. You do have to keep an eye on the new dogs coming in and watch out for other things that may be in play which you would have to do pretty much anywhere else as well.

Nice Tal (and Kirby). That video was taken six years ago.
Since the video, the owners have added a pool for dogs which is fenced and covered.
More of a soaking pool than a swimming pool, but dogs seem to love it.

Our dogs beg to go to DDRR daily - it means the world to them. And we're happy to oblige.
It's a great place, the staff is congenial, and we've made many friends there.

That was a very nice Doberman Pinscher from six years ago. I believe she/he passed a while back but remember the dog fondly. A lot of smaller dogs did chase it around. I do not remember its name.

I go there almost every day too unless Beau is not feeling well or I am or we have some kind of appointment.

Perhaps a bit small for some breeds! But all some big lugs need are a bit of water and a tennis ball.

Crosby loves to soak in the pool. I wish his mom would take him to DDRR more often.

Missed Doggie Doo Run Run today because of the need to make sure I got some of Beau's poop for his annual check-up at Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital. He had fun at the vet except for the exam which he gets very nervous about. Friendly people there at Buffalo Ridge.

Beau sometimes eats his poop before I can get it at DDRR so I had to make sure he was on a long leashed walk so that I could get the poop for the fecal exam for heart worms.

I forgot to ask the vet about dogs eating poop but from the research I have done there is not a whole lot that can be done about it except for what I have already tried like sprinkling Adolph's Meat Tenderizer on his food. A trick I got from a lady at DDRR who used to work for some vet offices up in CT. Jon Snow lives!!!

A vet told me years ago regarding a pup we rescued from a puppy mill, that many believe it's engrained in them as a way to prevent predators from tracking them or, in the case of a mama pup, to remove traces of her puppies for their safety from predators, she also eats their's. Survival of the fittest, but EWWWWWW!
